Stephen Hawking Warns on the Dangers of Advanced AI


This is not the first time that Stephen Hawking has warned about the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence.  Elon Musk has also expressed similar views.

I compiled a list of dangerous AI in popular culture.  All sources happen to be among my favorites of all-time.  Yes, even that Shia LaBeouf film.

Person of Interest
Battlestar Galactica
Terminator series
Matrix series
I, Robot (Film)
2001 A Space Odyssey
Eagle Eye
System Shock series
Ultron and Brainiac

Also, both Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk concur on the need for mankind to build a colony beyond our planet to guard against our complete extinction.  When two of humanity's best minds agree on two different matters, they may be onto something, and we should listen to them.
